Laptop can't locate video card

[corey430]

Hello,
I'm hoping to get some help, I have a Samsung R580 with a Nvidia GeForce 310M with Cuda. I tried updating my drivers from geforce.com and it failed and restarted my laptop. After that my computer isn't recognizing my Nvidia card so I'm running on the standard VGA graphics adeptor. I'm not sure what to do, I've tried reinstalling the drivers, windows tells me to download from the samsung website but the page doesn't exist, and tried installing in safe mode but nothing so far. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Go here for Samsung provided drivers:

You can also get the latest Nvidia drivers directly from:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Try running Driver Fusion (get it below) to remove any previous drivers before trying new drivers:

Go to this link: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/NP-R580-JBB2US

Select 'Manuals & Downloads' and download the VGA graphics driver.
Make sure you select the 32-bit or 64-bit version, depending on your version of Windows

Once the VGA driver is working try reinstalling the Nvidia one

It won't let me install the VGA graphics driver, it says "setup failed to read the required display driver to be used with this package"

When using driver fusion, it comes up with multiple nvidia links like display, chipset, and phys x. Do I delete it all?

Yes. Delete them all and simply re-install them afterward.
